Happy Hollow

In search of some sun and summer fun with friends, we met our buddies Matthew and Noel at Happy Hollow in San Jose.  This was our first time at Happy Hollow and we loved it!  It's the perfect mix of everything...a small zoo, a few rides, fairy tale themes, plenty of playgrounds and a puppet show.  Just big enough for a few hours of fun for the kids.

All the rides were just the right size for the kids, they could ride them all.  Cameron was so happy to finally be able to ride a swing ride!

The puppet show was a lot of fun...the Three Little Pigs.  All the kids were really into the show because there was lots of audience participation.  Timo and Cameron are still talking about how funny the dragon was...three weeks later. 

And the zoo was just big enough to be interesting but no overwhelming with large closures where you couldn't see any animals.  Making the goats look pretty and checking out meerkats!

The really smart thing about the park were how many play areas they had.  It seems each section we went to had a different area for the kids to jump, climb or play.  This gave us parents a chance to have a break of walking and the kids run off some energy build up while standing in line for a ride.

So much fun hanging with Matthew.  I wish we lived closer so we could see them more often, but it makes these day trips a little more special!  We loved Happy Hollow and can't wait to go back!
